Gmail Features I Bet You Didn't Know 🤯

Being a founder of an email company, I've spent countless hours in my inbox every day and I've started to discover some features in Gmail that are saving me a ton of headaches. I want to share them with you today because you're probably not using them enough. The first one, it's pretty simple, is undo send. After you hit send, it offers the opportunity for you to undo it. Let me tell you, there's nothing like staring at an email after you hit send and being like, 'Oh, I missed something' to recognize that feature is. If you're searching your inbox and can't find something, you really need to be using, Number two, the advanced operator function. What that means is you can actually search by things like who sent it, the subject line, and you can get much more detailed in exactly what you're looking for. The next one is templates. I'm not a huge template person, I don't write with a lot of templates, but there's certain phrases or things that I say a lot and so I use the template function to at least pre-build that and then I can edit off of it based off the situation. This next one is one that I discovered pretty recently. You can actually create different inboxes based off of different rules and they call this multiple inboxes. Say it's from a really important client, I can set up an inbox very specific client emails from them. Last one is scheduling sends. I tend to work at weird hours and so I don't want to blast somebody with an email at 3 a.m. in the morning and so what I'll do is I'll send it to go out at a different time. I also work with a lot of people that are international and so I know that when I'm sending an email is not when they're ready to receive an email and so I will schedule it for when they're ready to receive the email. And so is just look right next to the send button and there's a little option to schedule the send for a different time.
